What is the difference between Azure Web app and Azure App Service

Question

I'm quite new to Azure, trying to learn how to explore what are the possibilities of publishing a website on azure, to be a bit more at ease to do the the AZ-204.

What are the difference between the two? I initially taught the azure web app was code driven(connected to git) and "App Service" one was docker-based.

Answer 1

Azure App Services
Azure App Services is a hosting solution that allows developers to create mobile and online apps. Apart from that, it may be used by developers to create API apps or logic apps that integrate with SaaS. Azure App Services replaces multiple different Azure services, including as Azure Website, Azure Mobile Services, and Azure BizTalk Services, with a single package named Azure App Services.

App Service extends Microsoft Azure's security, load balancing, auto-scaling, and automated management capabilities to your application. Continuous deployment via Azure DevOps, GitHub, Docker Hub, and other sources, package management, staging environments, custom domains, and TLS/SSL certificates are among the DevOps features.

Web Apps in Azure

Azure Web Apps is a platform that allows you to build an app in Azure without having to deploy, manage, or maintain your own Azure virtual machines.
ASP.NET, PHP, Node.js, and Python can all be used to create Web Apps.
They also support popular development environments such as Visual Studio and GitHub.
The Azure computational resources you utilise must be paid for.

Hope this helps!
